Gear coupling - A gear coupling is a mechanical device for transmitting torque between two shafts that are not coaxial. It consists of a flexible joint fixed to each shaft.
Cycloidal drive - A Cycloidal Drive or cycloidal speed reducer is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. It is somewhat similar in appearance internally to an internal gear pump with the outer gear driving the output shaft.
Axle - An axle is a central shaft for a rotating wheel or gear. In some cases the axle may be fixed in position with a bearing or bushing sitting inside the hole in the wheel or gear to allow the wheel or gear to rotate around the axle.
Worm drive - Worm drives consist of a cylinder with a spiral groove mounted on a shaft. A gear meshes with the spiral groove on the cylinder, and when the cylinder rotates, it causes the gear to rotate also.
